About Us
After-School All-Stars is one of the country’s largest nonprofit organizations working to close the opportunity gap for low-income youth. Our mission is to provide year-round comprehensive programs that keep children safe and help them succeed in school and life. Founded in 1994, our chapter reaches 2,300 students at 16 sites across Atlanta.
Program Spotlight: Bird Conservation
This year, we partnered with Morehouse College and the Audobon Society to provide an ornithology class for our elementary school students. The class focused on bringing awareness to bird conservation and learning about the different types of birds and their current habitats. The students gained a deeper understanding of how they can contribute to the balance of nature. Additional program highlights include student bird watching and interacting with birds during flight demonstrations.
Student Spotlight: Meet Koa
Koa is an eighth-grade student at Sylvan Hills Middle School, and this is his first year participating with After-School All-Stars. He is a respectful and model student loved by all his teachers, but he didn’t really hit his stride at All-Stars until he found out about our band. Koa says he enjoys band practice at ASAS because it’s less constricted and he’s allowed to be more creative. He also gets the chance to teach his friends and learn from those not in his band class during the school day. With his continued commitment to After-School All-Stars and his persistence for perfection, Koa has become one of the section leaders for the Golden Bear Band at Sylvan Hills Middle School.

Thanks to a grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, our Rising Stars program is connecting hundreds of students across the country with year-round mentors.
